 Elliptical bunch shape

Ellipsoid:

\frac{z^2}{a^2} + \frac{x^2}{b_1^2} + \frac{y^2}{b_2^2} = 1
z2a2+x2b12+y2b22=1\frac{z^2}{a^2} + \frac{x^2}{b_1^2} + \frac{y^2}{b_2^2} = 1

 Electric field expression

3rd IPM Workshop, September 18th 2018, D. Vilsmeier

• Using confocal elliptical coordinates:

\begin{aligned} z(\xi, \eta) &= c\cdot\xi\cdot\eta \\ r(\xi, \eta) &= c\cdot\sqrt{(\xi^2 - 1)\cdot(1 - \eta^2)} \end{aligned}
z(ξ,η)=cξηr(ξ,η)=c(ξ21)(1η2)\begin{aligned} z(\xi, \eta) &amp;= c\cdot\xi\cdot\eta \\ r(\xi, \eta) &amp;= c\cdot\sqrt{(\xi^2 - 1)\cdot(1 - \eta^2)} \end{aligned}
c = \sqrt{a^2 - b^2}
c=a2b2c = \sqrt{a^2 - b^2}

• Transform Poisson equation:

\Delta \phi (\xi, \eta) = \frac{1}{c^2(\xi^2 - \eta^2)}\cdot\left[ \frac{\partial}{\partial\xi}(\xi^2 - 1)\frac{\partial \phi (\xi, \eta)}{\partial \xi} + \frac{\partial}{\partial\eta}(1 - \eta^2)\frac{\partial \phi (\xi, \eta)}{\partial\eta} \right]
Δϕ(ξ,η)=1c2(ξ2η2)[ξ(ξ21)ϕ(ξ,η)ξ+η(1η2)ϕ(ξ,η)η]\Delta \phi (\xi, \eta) = \frac{1}{c^2(\xi^2 - \eta^2)}\cdot\left[ \frac{\partial}{\partial\xi}(\xi^2 - 1)\frac{\partial \phi (\xi, \eta)}{\partial \xi} + \frac{\partial}{\partial\eta}(1 - \eta^2)\frac{\partial \phi (\xi, \eta)}{\partial\eta} \right]

• With the charge density:

\rho(\xi, \eta) = \rho_0\frac{a^2}{b^2}\left(1 - \frac{\xi^2}{\xi_0^2}\right)\left(1 - \frac{\eta^2}{\xi_0^2}\right)
ρ(ξ,η)=ρ0a2b2(1ξ2ξ02)(1η2ξ02)\rho(\xi, \eta) = \rho_0\frac{a^2}{b^2}\left(1 - \frac{\xi^2}{\xi_0^2}\right)\left(1 - \frac{\eta^2}{\xi_0^2}\right)
\xi_0 = \frac{a}{c}
ξ0=ac\xi_0 = \frac{a}{c}

\lvert \vec{E}_i(\xi, \eta) \rvert = \frac{1}{c\sqrt{\xi^2 - \eta^2}}\sqrt{(\xi^2 - 1)\cdot D_{i, \xi}(\xi, \eta)^2 + (1 - \eta^2)\cdot D_{i,\eta}(\xi, \eta)^2}

Electric field inside the bunch:

\begin{aligned} E_r = \frac{-K(Q, N)}{\epsilon_0 b^2}\left(\frac{r}{b}\right)\bigg[ & (g_1(\xi_0) + g_3(\xi_0))\sqrt{\xi_0^2 - 1} \\ & + (g_2(\xi_0) + g_3(\xi_0))\xi_0^2\sqrt{\xi_0^2 - 1}\left(\frac{z}{a}\right)^2 \\ & + g_3(\xi_0)\sqrt{\xi_0^2 - 1}^3\left(\frac{r}{b}\right)^2 \bigg] \end{aligned}
Er=K(Q,N)ϵ0b2(rb)[(g1(ξ0)+g3(ξ0))ξ021+(g2(ξ0)+g3(ξ0))ξ02ξ021(za)2+g3(ξ0)ξ0213(rb)2]\begin{aligned} E_r = \frac{-K(Q, N)}{\epsilon_0 b^2}\left(\frac{r}{b}\right)\bigg[ &amp; (g_1(\xi_0) + g_3(\xi_0))\sqrt{\xi_0^2 - 1} \\ &amp; + (g_2(\xi_0) + g_3(\xi_0))\xi_0^2\sqrt{\xi_0^2 - 1}\left(\frac{z}{a}\right)^2 \\ &amp; + g_3(\xi_0)\sqrt{\xi_0^2 - 1}^3\left(\frac{r}{b}\right)^2 \bigg] \end{aligned}

 Reformulation (outside bunch)

3rd IPM Workshop, September 18th 2018, D. Vilsmeier

The electric field outside the bunch can be similarly simplified (e.g. longitudinal field):

\begin{aligned} E_z = \frac{K(Q,N) (\xi_0^2 - 1)}{\epsilon_0 b^2}\eta \bigg[ & \frac{1}{4}(3 - 5\eta^2)\xi^2\left[\xi\ln\left(1 + \frac{2}{\xi - 1}\right) - 2\right] \\ & \frac{1}{4}(3\eta^2 - 1)\xi\ln\left(1 + \frac{2}{\xi - 1}\right) - \frac{2}{3}\eta^2 \bigg] \end{aligned}
Ez=K(Q,N)(ξ021)ϵ0b2η[14(35η2)ξ2[ξln(1+2ξ1)2]14(3η21)ξln(1+2ξ1)23η2]\begin{aligned} E_z = \frac{K(Q,N) (\xi_0^2 - 1)}{\epsilon_0 b^2}\eta \bigg[ &amp; \frac{1}{4}(3 - 5\eta^2)\xi^2\left[\xi\ln\left(1 + \frac{2}{\xi - 1}\right) - 2\right] \\ &amp; \frac{1}{4}(3\eta^2 - 1)\xi\ln\left(1 + \frac{2}{\xi - 1}\right) - \frac{2}{3}\eta^2 \bigg] \end{aligned}
\left[ \xi\ln\left(1 + \frac{2}{\xi - 1}\right) - 2 \right]
[ξln(1+2ξ1)2]\left[ \xi\ln\left(1 + \frac{2}{\xi - 1}\right) - 2 \right]

                               term indicates numerical (in)stability (compute via e.g. xlog1py from scipy.special)

Can be used as a "safeguard" (should be > 0)

Transformation to elliptical coordinates remains crucial but works for much larger "a/b" ratios (up to \(10^8\); further improvements are under investigation)

Realistic "a/b" ratios are \(\lessapprox10^{7}\)
(LHC @ 14 TeV has \(a/b \approx 10^{7}\))

 Reformulation (outside bunch)

3rd IPM Workshop, September 18th 2018, D. Vilsmeier

Radial electric field outside the bunch

\begin{aligned} E_r = &\frac{K(Q,N)(\xi_0^2 - 1)}{\epsilon_0 b^2} \sqrt{(1 - \eta^2)(\xi^2 - 1)} \\ & \cdot \bigg\{\frac{1}{16}\left[ (15\eta^2 - 3)\xi^2 - (3\eta^2 + 1) \right]\ln\left(1 + \frac{2}{\xi-1}\right) \\ & + (3 - 15\eta^2)\frac{\xi}{8} + \frac{1 - \eta^2}{4}\frac{\xi}{\xi^2 - 1} \bigg\} \end{aligned}
Er=K(Q,N)(ξ021)ϵ0b2(1η2)(ξ21){116[(15η23)ξ2(3η2+1)]ln(1+2ξ1)+(315η2)ξ8+1η24ξξ21}\begin{aligned} E_r = &amp;\frac{K(Q,N)(\xi_0^2 - 1)}{\epsilon_0 b^2} \sqrt{(1 - \eta^2)(\xi^2 - 1)} \\ &amp; \cdot \bigg\{\frac{1}{16}\left[ (15\eta^2 - 3)\xi^2 - (3\eta^2 + 1) \right]\ln\left(1 + \frac{2}{\xi-1}\right) \\ &amp; + (3 - 15\eta^2)\frac{\xi}{8} + \frac{1 - \eta^2}{4}\frac{\xi}{\xi^2 - 1} \bigg\} \end{aligned}

Again the logarithmic term can be used as an instability "safeguard"

Only limited by accuracy of coordinate transformation (allowing for much larger "a/b" ratios which cover well beyond the realistic regime)
